    powerpc/perf: Fix PMU constraint check for EBB events
    
    [ Upstream commit 10f8f96179ecc7f69c927f6d231f6d02736cea83 ]
    
    The power PMU group constraints includes check for EBB events to make
    sure all events in a group must agree on EBB. This will prevent
    scheduling EBB and non-EBB events together. But in the existing check,
    settings for constraint mask and value is interchanged. Patch fixes the
    same.
    
    Before the patch, PMU selftest "cpu_event_pinned_vs_ebb_test" fails with
    below in dmesg logs. This happens because EBB event gets enabled along
    with a non-EBB cpu event.

      cpu_event_pinned_vs_ebb_test[10000000+10000]
    
    Test results after the patch:
    
      $ ./pmu/ebb/cpu_event_pinned_vs_ebb_test
      test: cpu_event_pinned_vs_ebb
      tags: git_version:v5.12-rc5-93-gf28c3125acd3-dirty

    This bug was hidden by other logic until commit 1908dc911792 (perf:
    Tweak perf_event_attr::exclusive semantics).
